Flat grassy camping on a small lake

Upsata Fishing Access campground is located four miles north of Montana Highway 200.  This is a pleasant small five site campground.   All five sites are next to each other on a flat grassy area which appears to be regularly maintained.  Each site has a picnic table and fire ring.  One vault toilet serves the site.  No water or trash service.  The fishing access has a small parking area for vehicles and boat trailers, boat ramp is gravel.  Only one other site was occupied on our visit, but that was on a Sunday evening.
